Pride and Prejudice

Well, I've got some new projects I'm working on. That's a good thing about summer....I have some time to do it. First off, I am working on organizing our family photos into binders. At one point I thought I might join the ranks of the scrapbooking moms to creatively archive my children's lives. I need to simplify because I'm just not doing it. I am just putting the pictures on cardstock with photo corners (acid free of course) and then putting them in page protectors and binders. Last night I got quite a bit done and it went really fast! I have binders started for both of my kids and I put all the professional photos we've had done from birth all the way to the school pictures that are up to date. I want to get a binder started for Tom and I and then have one for each year for our family. The way I see it, I'm only about 15 years behind. My new organizing method is much faster than scrapbooking and I think it looks nice. It's also fun to look at pictures and see what has just been in boxes up until now. Another project is my raspberries. I've mentioned that before. They are still alive and well. I opted not to do other garden vegetables this year. I really want to focus on my raspberries. Maybe next year I'll get some other stuff growing again. Weed control is always a big issue. Of course we love the privacy of our yard, but we are also surrounded by big fields. I have also decided that an English teacher should be well read. I love adolescent literature but I though I would focus on some classics I've never read before. I'm starting out with Pride and Prejudice. I'll have to rent the movie when I'm finished because I've heard that's great too. Tom finished all 11 seasons of MASH. However; I hear the theme song coming from my room right now so maybe he's starting over. He liked the earlier versions with Frank. I tend to like the later ones with Charles, BJ and Colonel Potter. Here's exciting news: My sister, Rachel got tickets for us to go to the Stadium of Fire to see Miley Cyrus! It's been sold out, but she had some connections with someone who needed to sell their tickets. Tori is pretty excited about it. I like that kind of stuff too. So it looks like I'll be going to Provo/Orem again on next week. The kids have had fun with their cousins this week. Josh, Britini and Tami are here from Michigan. They went to the Hyrum Rodeo tonight. Well, that's about it for today.
